Corporate logos are generally not appropriate for wedding invitations, even if most of your guests are business associates. The exception arrives when you own the business versus just working for one.  Being the proprietor of the enterprise gives you leave to incorporate your logo.  

Creating Modern Wedding Invitations with a Corporate Twist

If you are part of a family business, are marrying into one, or own one with your future spouse, then you might consider including your logo to create modern wedding invitations. Wedding invitations are often a reflection of the couple, so if an accurate reflection includes running a business together, then why not include this aspect of your lives on your wedding invitations?

Incorporating a logo is especially relevant if your business is related to the wedding industry.  You might own a catering company, a wedding planning business, or even a flower shop or party rental store. Any of these could directly relate to your wedding and could ostensibly be included on your modern wedding invitations.  If you are a florist, for example, creating your own wedding invitation with your corporate logo could not only act as an advertisement, but you might even be able to write off your invitations as a marketing business expense.

How to Incorporate Your Logo

If you’ve decided that your business logo should be included on your wedding invitations, you have unconsciously chosen modern wedding invitations instead of traditional. Modern styles are more flexible and don’t have as many decorum rules attached, giving you the ability to break with tradition and use bold colors, unique designs and patterns, and even a corporate logo.

If your business relates to weddings, you could consider using a color from your logo (unless it’s black and white) to incorporate on the invitation. For example, if you own a floral shop and your logo has your business name surrounded by a ring of pink roses, then you could use a bolder shade of the pink as an accent color on the invitations.  Or, if you choose a pocket style, make the pocket a deep pink with your logo embossed in the center.

If your logo uses a particular shape, then you could extract that element and use it with the invitation, and even have the wedding invitation itself shaped like a square or circle to mimic your logo.  You could even incorporate a sticker of your logo to use as a clasp for a bi-fold or tri-fold invitation.  The texture of your modern wedding invitation can also be used to create interest, such as using fabric, wood veneer, even acrylic – especially if one of these materials relates to your business – to accent your ultra-modern, ultra-chic invitations.

Starting and maintaining a successful business is hard work and evolves over time, similar to a personal relationship. If this defines you and your fiancé, then have fun including your logo on your modern wedding invitations since it represents, in part, what you are together.
